    intersting. Hard to tell from the pics. Maybe it is a 1990 no-s proof wannabe counterfeit? The genuine coin is worth 3 grand, so I'm sure there is some incentive to fake one. However, you'd think they'd at least make it the right size, eh? I really have no idea, so lets let the experts chime in.

    cool find.

    Not worth much. About $15 on a good day.

    If U don't have a scale go in to a jewelery repair shop and as them to weight it. It maybe stuck on wrong planchet?
